Presbyterian minister of that place and was married by him. and that he has been dead many years and further the said Mary Gage declares that the said Asa Gage her said husband died at Hanover in the said County of Chautauqua on the twenty eighth day of January, 1837 that she has remained a widow from the time of his death and now is such widow. That she was not married to the said Asa prior to his leaving the Sermon but the marriage took place previous to the first of January 1794 to wit on the eighth day of March 1794 opened and that the name of the said applicant before she was married, was Mary Bolton and was often called both before and after marriage, Polly instead of Mary. That she has not been able to find any record of her said marriage. Though she has caused diligent search and expensive enquiry to be made therefor and believes there is not any such record. But that she lived with the said Asa Gage from the time of the said marriage to the time of his death and was during all that time known reputed and recognized as his wife and he as her husband, both by him and by their friends and society generally, and that she has had and said thirteen children the fruit of said marriage, four of whom are now living. The eldest of whom is Asa Gage who was born on the fourth day of July 1792 and who now resides at Hanover in the County of Chautauqua And she further says that she has not and knows of no family records that afford any proof of the said marriage, except a memorandum in the hand writing of the said Asa Gage her husband, cut from an old account book kept by him and found among his books and other papers which states the said marriage truly and also states some other facts of the family history and is a true statement as far as it goes. She does not know at what time the same or any part of it was made but has often seen it before his decease and knows it to be very old, and the said memorandum or writing the applicant called Polly Bolton

But she avers herself to be the same person then described, or denominated by that name, and she further says that the writing spoken of is the same annexed, and is in her and husband's hand writing, and she further says that the pension certificate of the said Asa Gage cannot be found, and she believes the same to have been lost, that the said Certificate was in the possession of Albert H Camp a merchant of the said town of Hanover, before the decease of her said husband, as the said Camp was accustomed to obtain the drawing of his said money for him, and that the same remained with said Camp after the decease of the said Asa, that she has recently caused diligent search to be made for it but that same has not yet been found, that if the same can be found on a future search she intends to cause the same to be hereto annexed and forwarded with this application, and if not found she intends to annex the affidavit of said Camp or some other person, to corroborate the fact of the same being lost,
She further says that she was never but once married and that as above stated, that the said marriage was celebrated only in the presence of a few friends, all of whom are now dead, Ebenezer Bolton her brother and his wife, Asa Bolton another brother and his wife, and wife's sister Prudy Mitchell were the friends who attended and they are all dead,
